Why Does Iran Always Benefit from the War on Terror?

Since the dramatic events of last September, the Americans have begun a dangerous new attempt to redraw the regions borders geographically and demographically, on the basis of ethnicity and sectarianism carried out under the banners of democracy and the "war on terror. The intent of this plan is to throw the region into chaos. America has led Arabs and the world into a number of traps. Falling into those traps will result in the Arab worlds step-by-step destruction even though over the last few years, we have seen Gulf leaders transformed into Americas lapdogs as well as revealing the true face of America and its hidden alliance with Iran.
America ignored the rise of the Islamic State, other Syrian and Iraqi extremist organizations, and the subsequent threats to the Gulf region probably because its previous schemes to sow chaos in Egypt and the Gulf through Bahrain failed. We have a new phase of American deceit, with its return to using mobs of people and "the global war on terror, but this time, this includes all the regimes it failed to bring down by turning them into allies in the war on terror!
But one question remains: Since the beginning, who else but America and Iran could have been providing strategic and intelligence support to Sunni and Shiite extremists to carry out terrorist attacks in the name of Islam? Has America suddenly changed its strategy to bring down the Arab world? Does it intend to bring down all the existing regimes so it can hand them over to Sunni and Shiite extremists? Will the war on the Islamic State group, with its $500 billion war chest, become a new method to prepare the Arab world to be chopped up as America wishes?
Why was the Islamic State group allowed to gain all this money? Why are they saying this war will take years? Do the results benefit Arabs, or do they benefit Iran? Will the Assad regime remain as the Americans want it to to bait or blackmail the Gulf states? Is it mere coincidence that the Houthis entered Sanaa during the distracting din of the war on the Islamic State group? How many more Sunni always Sunni civilians in Iraq and Syria will be killed or displaced in the name of the war on the Islamic State group and the "war on terror?"
